Suit Actors

A suit actor (スーツアクター,sūtsu akutā) is a member of a tokusatsu production who works similar to a stunt performer. However, the suit actor does all of his or her stunts while in a full costume that normally obscures their identity from the viewer and performs pantomime, as an actor's voice will generally be dubbed during after-recording (アフレコ,afureko). Some suit actors, such as Kenji Ohba and Jun'ichi Haruta, would go on to play actual characters and do their own stunts for them as well.
